Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins Logo

The ice hockey team Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins, which was established in 1981, was known as the Cleveland Lumberjacks throughout the 1990s.

Meaning and History logo

Today, the team is the AHL affiliate of the NHL’sPittsburgh Penguins – the fact that is reflected in its logo. In fact, the two logotypes bear an undeniable resemblance. Both feature an anthropomorphized penguin playing hockey inside a yellow triangle with a thin black outline. It’s not the same penguin, though. The one on the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins logo has more muscles and looks in a different direction.

Colors

The color scheme is slightly different, too. In addition to the gold, black, and white colors of the parent club, this emblem also features gold.
